    Testing decorum...

    I love the idea of a "diabetes day" on the train @Shar67. My usual reaction to something like this would probably be quite coarse. I think feeling a bit squiffy coupled with the shock of his reaction threw me off. He asked me not to do it in front of him and I said, "sorry, do you not like...

    Testing decorum...

    Hi everyone, I'm interested to see what people's thoughts are on the situation I just encountered. I have a pretty big walk from my office to the train station and then from the train station to my house. My sugars tend to drop quite a lot and I sometimes feel hypo when I get to the train...

    Type 2 NHS Check Up Frequency

    I've only recently been diagnosed so mine are very frequent at the minute in the addition to regular phone calls. The plan (so I'm told) moving forward is to see my GP every three months to go through BG readings and general check up. He seems very keen and pro- active which is reassuring. I...

    Can you tell when your number is high?

    I used to get a taste of acetone at the back of my mouth pre- diagnosis. Could sometimes smell it. It came with some almighty bad breath too. Gone now though.

    Can you tell when your number is high?

    I'm the same as tim2000s. It's a general feeling for me. I always say the same thing, "I feel grim" and that's the signal usually that I'm high. It usually comes with a dull headache, thirst and apathy. My girlfriend has started to pick up on it now and tells me to test so the symptoms must be...
